Positive Vacation Vibes: Connotation Practice

Write with a positive attitude in this engaging worksheet! Students will read 12 sentences about vacationing at the beach, in the woods, and in a market. They will need to complete each sentence by circling the word that has a more positive meaning. They’ll be choosing between similar words like quaint versus tiny and sunny versus scorching. 

This middle school worksheet was designed to improve students’ understanding of how similar words can have very different connotations. They can build their vocabulary and practice thinking critically about the emotional meaning of words. Foundational knowledge about shades of meaning can help students become more intentional, descriptive writers.
